Sandwith has a terrific record around here and comes into this in decent form while Avertuoso is another who comes into this in good form and his low draw should ensure he plays a prominent role in the early exchanges. However, there is plenty to like about the chances of GRISSOM. The C&D winner has proved himself a model of consistency of late and with the form of his recent Pontefract second looking strong, he rates the one to beat.
Grissom is handicapped to strike again and can end a losing run with Paul Hanagan in the saddle. Atlantic Beach, Avertuoso and Sandwith head the dangers.
She has won four times from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. A winner at 25-1 at Newcastle over 5f (heavy) on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Bedloe's Island by 1 3/4l. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Redcar this season.

The penalised Foreign Rhythm seems sure to prove popular in her bid to follow up her recent Newcastle success but a high draw could make things tough today and slight preference is for the lightly raced ATTRITION. The 3-y-o son of Selkirk caught the eye when finishing third on his handicap debut at Catterick earlier this month and there should be plenty more to come from him. Recent Kempton third Mansii makes up the shortlist, along with Fashion Icon, who was engaged to run at Catterick yesterday.
Sands of Dee bounced right back to his best at Yarmouth last time and looks a leading player here off the same mark. Foreign Rhythm will be a big danger if in the same form as she was at Newcastle, while Fashion Icon comes here on the back of 2 wins, including at Catterick on Tuesday.

Opus Maximus looks an obvious contender dropped in class but trainer Dandy Nicholls is usually the man to follow in this grade and he looks to hold two strong chances with Abbondanza and FREMEN. The former has a cracking record in this grade but the latter comes into this in sparkling form following a double last month and the five times C&D winner is fancied continue his love affair with this track and complete the hat-trick.
Opus Maximus has a huge chance on his current rating and may well bounce back now dropping to this grade for the first time, but Fremen is a standing dish in such events and his reliability makes him the choice. Abbondanza is next best.

BLUE DESTINATION made an eye-catching debut when finishing sixth of 17 in a hot Newmarket maiden won by subsequent Group 1 winner Biondetti in August and with that initial experience under his belt, he is fancied to make use of this step up in trip and open his account. The 85-rated Hoppy's Flyer takes the eye on her return to these shores and making her debut for the Phil Kirby stable but Icy Blue, who has been knocking on the door of late, is fancied to give the selection most to think about.
The decision to fit Blue Destination with a tongue tie probably shouldn't be taken as too much of a negative and this looks a good opportunity for him. Newcomer Our Dynasty is a likely danger, along with Icy Blue.
Winner of six races from 1m 4f to 2m on ground varying from good to heavy. Beaten 1 1/2l by Herculean when second of 9 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Haydock over 1m 6f (soft) last month.

A decent prize on offer which can go the way of GRACEFUL DESCENT. Jim Goldie's charge has continued to improve throughout the season and produced a performance of some authority when beating Chilly Filly in a well-contested Ayr handicap last month. This step up in his trip looks within his compass and he can brush off a 5lb rise in the weights to complete the double. Top-weight Bollin Felix is proven at this trip and makes a fair amount of appeal on his Haydock runners-up effort last time, while recent Cesarewitch fifth Palomar and Atlantic Tiger, who receives weight all round today, are others to consider in a competitive looking renewal.
Palomar has to be considered following his good run from out of the weights in the Cesarewitch recently, but the fact he's gone 5 years without a win on the Flat is off-putting. The forecast rain will suit the reliable Bollin Felix, who gets the nod, with Chookie Hamilton taken to reach the frame once more.

A low draw looks ideal for LADY PARIS who produced a fine effort in defeat when finishing fourth in a competitive 6f York nursery earlier this month, cutting out most of the running before tiring in the closing stages. The drop to 5f shouldn't prove a problem for a filly who clearly possesses plenty of pace and there are more races to be won with the Haydock victor off this mark. It is hard to knock the recent efforts of Crimson Knot who has been knocking on the door of late and another big run from her is anticipated, with similar sentiments applying to Insolenceofoffice.
Lady Paris has shown good speed at 6f and can improve for the drop back to the minimum trip to win a race full of early pace. She has most to fear from Berberana, who can bounce back from a couple of modest runs. Insolenceofoffice should make the frame again.

Secret Venue won three times here last season and although things haven't quite gone his way this time around, he has still run plenty of good races in defeat and should have the rail to run against today. He should take these along at a good clip but SELECT COMMITTEE picked him up late when the pair locked horns at Redcar last month and despite failing to sparkle in two starts since, he should appreciate returning to this grade and looks to have plenty in his favour. Recent C&D winner Highland Warrior is another to consider.
Highland Warrior has gone up 4 lb for a win here last month, but he's still potentially well treated judged on his soft-ground romp at the track in the spring. Lesley's Choice showed plenty of dash here last time and is feared, while Secret Venue can be forgiven his latest run and could reach the frame.

A tricky looking conclusion to proceedings but ZED CANDY (also engaged to run at Yarmouth yesterday) remains attractively handicapped on the Flat and is nominated having returned from a lengthy lay-off to finish a creditable fifth at Southwell in July. Rated 120 over hurdles, he should strip much fitter this afternoon and looks to have retained plenty of his old ability. The in-form Hong Kong Island merits obvious consideration, while five times course winner Oddsmaker is another capable of a big run.
Course-specialist Oddsmaker could well be left alone up front, so gets the nod ahead of Hong Kong Island and Mohawk Ridge.
